Paola Marra, the 53-year-old from London who took her own life at Dignitas in Switzerland on Wednesday, has urged the public and politicians to help change the law on assisted dying in a posthumous video. In a clip filmed before she flew to Zurich this week, Marra, who had had terminal bowel cancer since 2021, said: “As you watch this, I am dead. But you watching this could help change the laws around assisted dying.”
